Other Awards
Various types of awards are available to students of Memorial University
of Newfoundland. Included are scholarships, bursaries, fellowships,
studentships, prizes, medals and loans.
A scholarship is based on academic performance and is
awarded to the student with the highest average meeting the conditions
of the scholarship. Scholarship standing is required for all scholarships.
A bursary is based primarily on financial need and may
be awarded to full-time students who have a minimum GPA of 2 (out of
a possible 4) and meet the other conditions of the bursary.
An award is offered to recognize special achievements
or to assist with special projects or travel. Awards may be given
to students with a minimum of clear standing (as defined by the University)
and meeting the other conditions of the award.
A grant is an award for which need is a prime consideration,
normally with the provision that the recipient be, or remain, in good
academic standing. Grants are issued at the discretion of the Director
of Student Success Programs, Student Affairs and Services.
Loans are granted to students on an "ad hoc" basis with
need being the prime consideration. Loans are normally repaid before
the commencement of subsequent semester. Interest is charged on outstanding
loans. Administration of loans is at the discretion of the Director
of Student Success Programs, Student Affairs and Services.
Some scholarships and awards may be held for more than
one year, but are renewable only if the student maintains scholarship
standing and first class standing.
Entrance scholarships are awarded for the Fall Semester.
Unless otherwise noted, entrance scholarships are open
to Canadian citizens and landed immigrants graduating from secondary
schools within Canada who are admitted to Memorial University of
Newfoundland on the basis of high school grades and current entrance
standards and who meet the current definition of scholarship standing.
They are also open to students in the above category who may not be
coming directly from high school. This is limited to those who have
previously matriculated, are admitted to the University on the basis
of high school grades and current entrance standards and who meet the
current definition of scholarship standing.
Distinct undergraduate entrance scholarships are available
for international students. The values will vary but will not exceed
$3,000 each. To be considered for these scholarships, a student must
be eligible to pay international undergraduate tuition fees, must
register for a minimum course load of 12 credit hours in each of two semesters
in their first academic year at Memorial University of Newfoundland and
have fewer than 31 credit hours of transfer credits. These scholarships
will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships
and Financial Aid on the basis of a recommendation from the Director,
Office of Student Recruitment.
The selection of candidates for international entrance scholarships will
be based on a number of criteria, including academic standing (comparable
to that prescribed for Newfoundland and Labrador and Canadian applicants),
principals' and teachers' letters of recommendation and school and community
activities.
Scholarship standing for undergraduate entrance students
(who are Canadian citizens or landed immigrants graduating from secondary
schools within Canada) is defined as a 75% average compiled from
the final grades received in secondary school courses required for
University admission. Students beginning level three who, at the end
of level two, had completed at least six 3000 level credits from the
list of courses covered under UNIVERSITY
REGULATIONS - ADMISSION/READMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
(UNDERGRADUATE), 3.1, Applicants Who Have Followed
the High School Curriculum of the Newfoundland and Labrador,
may be provisionally offered scholarships. Students graduating from
High Schools in other provinces in Canada may be eligible based on corresponding
criteria from their provincial secondary program. The provisional
offer will remain in effect until University admission averages are
determined.
Scholarship standing for undergraduate students is defined
as a 75% average at the end of two out of the last three semesters
in the previous scholarship year and the successful completion of not
less than 30 credit hours in those two semesters. In considering students
who complete more than 30 credit hours in those two semesters, the
average on the actual number of credit hours taken will be reviewed.
Students who fail one or more courses during the scholarship year, regardless
of the number of courses completed, will not be eligible for scholarships.
For Co-op students who do not meet the above definition
because of scheduled work terms, scholarship standing is defined
as a 75% average over the most recent two academic semesters in the
preceding four semesters in which they must have been enroled as regular
full-time Co-op students. Those who fail an academic course or work
term during the four semester period will not be eligible for scholarships.
Not all students who meet the above definitions of scholarship
standing will receive a scholarship.
Students transferring to Memorial University of Newfoundland
from Universities/Colleges in Canada which are members of the Association
of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) and who meet scholarship
standing as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland will be
eligible for undergraduate scholarships in the year in which they
transfer. Such students must notify the Scholarships and Awards Office
in writing of their intention to transfer and provide a complete transcript
for the year in question.
Awards must be taken during the scholarship year for which
they are awarded and the student must be registered full time or in
a recognized work term in order to receive their scholarship, unless
stated otherwise in the terms of reference. The scholarship year
runs from May 1st - April 30th.
A student may receive in any one scholarship year one
general award of any value administered by the Senate Committee
on Undergraduate Scholarships and Financial Aid or more than one
award to a combined value of 1.5 times the per semester tuition for
15 credit hours. In addition, students may receive, upon recommendation
of the appropriate academic unit, awards administered by the Senate
Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships and Financial Aid such that
the total of general and academic unit specific awards does not exceed
three times the per semester tuition for 15 credit hours.
Students who have obtained scholarship standing as defined
above need not apply for general scholarships. Inquiries from students
with special circumstances and/or concerning scholarships with special
terms should be referred to the Scholarships and Awards Office, University
Centre, Room 4018, 709-737-3956.
Students attending the Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in
Corner Brook are eligible for all General Scholarships. You may make
scholarship inquiries at the Student Affairs Office on that campus
or the Scholarships and Awards Office.
Students wishing to apply for awards administered by other
authorities should consult the appropriate section of the Scholarships
& Awards portion of the Calendar and/or the Scholarships and Awards
Office.
In addition to undergraduate awards listed herein, limited
information is included concerning Studentships, Fellowships and
Graduate Awards. Further inquiries may be made to the Scholarship Committee,
though students are advised to consult the Heads of their Departments,
